I found this book on Edelweiss. It sounded so interesting to me that I had to just read it!

Dear Luke, We Need to Talk. - Darth: And Other Pop Culture Correspondences by John Moe was too funny. It is a collection of letters, diaries, reports, and "Welp" reviews from all the popular movies in the past 100 years.

Most of easy to catch on that you know what they are. But, some, I had to really think about where they came from. You have to either be older (or well versed in older pop culture) to understand alot of these things.

The ones that I did were absolutely funny! There were things from movies, music, books, TV shows, even the Super Bowl because pop culture is all of these things.

I wish I could have read in Paperback because reading it via the format I did just wasn't working for me. I think with the Paperback, it would have made more sense. (One section I had to skip over because I couldn't find the right formatting.)

I give this a 4.5 coins.
5 = best
1 = worst

This book had mostly good parts, but sometimes you have to really get past the cussing (a lot) and try to actually seeing the section as a whole.

This book is published by Three Rivers Press. It runs about $15 USD/$18 CAD

I was recently contacted by Jason Sandberg, the author of Candy and the Cankersaur.

This is a story about a girl, her dinosaur, and the jealous neighbor. Candy is a girl with a businessman for a father who likes her to play outside while he does business. The Jealous Neighbor is a little boy named Chucky who likes to have whatever Candy has but better. Candy's father decided that she needed a pet to keep her company. He bought her a dinosaur, which Chucky got very jealous of and decided to steal.

I can't reveal the end. But it is a very cute book which I would highly recommend. It has a cute plot, wonderful graphics, and reveals that all humans, even Jealous Neighbors, have feelings. Businessman fathers can actually be there for their daughters. And let's not forget that Dinosaurs might not be extinct! It is a good bedtime story and also is really good for morals.

I have gotten another book to start reviewing. I realized now that I have said "I'm sorry" a lot on this blog. I have not been extremely active (in reviews and stuff) in quite a few years. But I will try to get a "In My Mailbox" vlog up this weekend (if plausible). I will have two books I received (if not more) and also some books I picked up for my baby boy. I have started reading The People of Forever Are Not Afraid and it is interesting and quite different than other books I have read. That is all I can say. Hope to see you this weekend!

Things have changed quite a bit since my last time on here. I now have a son, am almost done with my associate's degree, and haven't reviewed a book in what feels like forever.

I have one book waiting to be reviewed currently. The People of Forever Are Not Afraid by Shani Boianjiu. I will hopefully be able to post a review when this summer semester is over (and when my son will let me).

I am sorry for all you faithful followers out there! I am now back for as long as I can. I have been busy with school, work, and not having technology agree with me (which means, I didn't know my password here).

But, I am back, with full awareness! I have a couple for books that will be up and reviewed, including Whip It by Shauna Cross and I have ordered Alice's Adventures in Wonderland by Louis Carroll with wonderful new gothic illustrations by Camille Rose Garcia. So please do keep checking in and seeing what's new, which may be my first contest... You never know, you'll have to come in and check!

Im in hastings right now. I see a lot of fantasy/scifi books in the teen section but i see no melissa walker or i wanna be your joey ramone! No offense to those books. But please reprensent all areas of the aspect. And please dont put too many copies if no one buys it. No offense but i want more copies of my books. They might be the popular ones if there is no copy so i guess i cant complain if the store doesnt order the right amount.

I had to work all summer and did not have access to internet on my computer. I did not realize that I had 33 followers (publically) and even had people email to advertise them on my page. I feel so proud! If I had not responded to emails that you have sent to my gmail account, I will respond as soon as I can. I will try to get more reviews up as soon as I can. I hope to get active again!

Authors, Publishers, & Fellow Bloggers

If you would like me to review your book, I would more than happy too. I mostly read YA, but I will read just about any fiction. I am not going to review non-fiction because it just doesn't interest me.

I would also like to do contests on this blog. If you would to host a contest here, please contact me.

I also do interviews. I will interview authors, publishers, fellow bloggers, or even just some lucky reader or follower!
